Tesla Model X Spreads Its (Falcon) Wings: Production Details Revealed

The Tesla CEO began with a focus on the Model X's safety credentials. Crash testing indicates it will be the first SUV to earn an across-the-board five-star rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The secret to this presumed success is battery placement that creates an unusually low center of gravity for an SUV and greatly diminishes rollover risk. There are also some active-safety features; the Model X will autonomously brake and steer in a variety of emergency situations.
